sodding molluscum

OKay - have read throught he archives and have had some great advice on here from what I have picked up from other threads.

DD has had molluscum for nearly 18months and it has finally started to show sign of going - a few have gone and they are changing a bit (she has one under her eye poor thing!)

When they start going how long until they are gone?

Cannot wait to see the back of them.

Also bought 8hr cream ages ago thinking it would work it didn't but might it help now? (don't want to waste it as great fo my lips!)

When dd had them they went very quickly, over a matter of days, IIRC.

hello i know something about this but some people think it's not good
I used comfrey cream on molluscum and it worked. First stops it spreading then they slowly but persistently went away.
But I think if you eat comfrey it gives you liver issues or something not sure you have to check.
But you can buy comfrey cream over the counter in chemists. It is the ONLY THING that works for molluscum imo.

more like a month
but if you do nothing molluscums/a? wil hang around for up to two years
that's two years of not sharing towels and baths etc so it doesn't run through the other children
just don't eat the stuff -- try Boots first
